How to structure a social theory?: A critical response to Anthony king’s the structure of social theory
Philosophy of the Social Sciences 36 (1):95-104 (2006)
| Abstract | s argument for the claim that social relations have to be conceived of as primary and main ontological category for an adequate analysis of the social realm. The author shows that King’s arguments do not succeed in fully replacing the categories of agency and structure that are pervasive in contemporary social theory. At most, King succeeds in delineating a neglected area of social theory, something that should be taken into account in addition to structure and agency. Key Words: social ontology • rules • agency • structure • hermeneutics. | |||||||||
